*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #43* Sorry, Mom-- after using most of my baking utensils, and finding at Step 6 _"Combine bananas, MILK, and rum" -- that there was no milk in the ingredients list ! Now that recipes print on 3 pages, it wasn't immediately obvious. I checked another recipe with similar ingredients, and used 1/4 cup milk. Baked for 60 minutes, which must have been too long-- was disappointed to find cake very dry and almost tasteless -- no banana nor rum flavor. Had to freeze it for the nonce, but will be eaten later, maybe with ice cream.
